The Connecticut Department of Public Works (DPW) is a defunct department of the American state of Connecticut. In 2013 it was transferred to the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services.
History[edit]
During the 1990s and early 2000s The DPW suffered under the corrupt eight-year leadership of Commissioner Theodore R. Anson.[1] Anson was appointed Commissioner of the DPW by Governor John G. Rowland in 1995 following a career in the private sector. Anson resigned in September 2003 after the Hartford Courant reported that he had taken a bribe in the form of free design work from the architecture firm Kaestle Boos Associates.[2] Governor Rowland subsequently appointed James T. Fleming to lead the Department.[2]
In July 2013 the department became part of the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services (DAS).[3]
